When it comes to world metropolises, the good thing is you can go back there over and over again and find new inspiration. Well that rule certainly applies to London. I've been many times to London but ever new time is over again a revelation. So I was pretty sure I will get back with loads of ideas and new tips for you after the fabulous BlogTour. Ok, I promise we will round things up this week with my ongoing BlogTour coverage. But there is just so much to share with you. A sunset cruise on the Thames, loads of design, inviting shops and yummy markets. Here we go.
Despite of our tough BlogTour schedule we had some free time to use to discover some corners of London by ourselves. Well, a great invitation to the Conran Shop Party was reason enough to head over to the fab flagship store and enjoy yummy cocktails and great furniture design - moreover, we all celebrated the famous Conran red with our dear hosts. The next morning we surely needed a good brunch - luckily our dear sponsor Mr. Steam took us to Bill's, a great venue for feasty brunches. 
In between great design shows such as 100% Design we used the little gaps for shopping marathons. I prepped up properly by asking my London blogger friend Will to take me to some great stores and we visited Summerill & Bishop and Ben Pentreath Ltd. Both stores great addresses for amazing homewares and utilities in simple yet striking designs.
After that we headed to the Dock to visit the Tom Dixon store and the London pop-up store of Paris based super brand Merci. There were too many temptations so the way back was way more difficult - after all, we were loaded with shopping bags.
But it is not only design and homewares that make me go all weak and inspire me. It is food markets, too. Luckily, our hotel was just around the corner of the famous Borough Market and believe me, a sunny Saturday morning at the market is just the right thing to do - just make sure to come hungry!
That's it for today, friends. Let us start a great week with these images and inspiration.

what a fun recap!! so glad that you get to go off a little to venture the city on your own. ... Love Conran and funny I already knew that was Will in those killer burgundy pants before reading your comments. Lucky you to have gone shopping with MR B. Can't wait to see you both again!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos of my home city!
ReplyDeleteI like that Will showed you the less touristy shops and what great choices. Also glad you saw the Dock which, I know you'll agree, is quite spectacular.
I missed the Conran Party but heard it was fun.
Great recap Mr. Igor and London surely misses you!!!
mihihihihihi! Igor! Also bei Bill's könnte man ja wohl einziehen, oder? Das sieht dort urgemütlich aus und ich glaub es Dir aufs Wort, dass das Frühstück der Knaller war.
ReplyDeletePrächtigen Montag!
